Buying juicy plums during the summer, cheering on a guy balancing on a rope, and walking past gorgeous lily pads is just a handful of things you can experience at Green Lake Park in Seattle. I highly recommend canoeing there. #greenlakeparkseattle #lifeatexpedia
One of the most beloved neighborhood parks in Seattle, with a lovely paved 3 mile trail around the lake...
So pretty in spring...and the fall here, the trail around the lake is about 2.5 miles and it's flat.  Perfect for jogging, evening strolls, and picnics.  It does get super busy on the weekends though.

The service is superb! Breakfast is for me that stands out. It’s hot, a lot of choices. I also wanted to shout out the complimentary items. Thanks for the service. The only thing that needs improvement is, there is no blow dryer in the room.
